I should say hello! I have already started posting a few weeks ago, but I am still new to this adventure.
Quick background. I started photography in '08 with a Nikon D40. I loved it right off the bat and was greatly impressed with the quality I was able to achieve with that camera over my previous point and shoots. I then moved up to a D7000 last spring. Again I loved it and was happy. This is when I took an ever more serious dive into photography.
Try as I may I could never get the quality images I was looking for. I started researching and found large format interesting, but wasn't yet sold. I fully believed that digital was equal to film in quality. Then in a gallery I saw the most stunning, vivid photos I had ever seen. I found out they were shot on a 4x5 camera and I was instantly converted into a believer. It was hard, but I traded in my DSLR for a 4x5. I don't regret it at all. Now I am shooting a tachihara 4x5.
